where can i find cheap health insurance so i can get a therapist for anxiety?

how long does it take for benefits to kick in so i can start receiving therapy?
--------------------
Different companies have different benefits for mental health. Contact a local independent insurance agent from the phone book or look online, who lives in your area, knows who operates there and can recommend a policy.

Liberals: Why was the "Doc Fix" for Medicare taken out of the health insurance reform bill?

Obama claims they are taking 500 Billion out of Medicare to pay for Obama care so why didn't he include the $208 Billion they are going to have to put back into Medicare for the Doc Fix? Isn't this just a shell game so he could say that it lowers the deficit? If the Doc Fix was included in health insurance reform like it originally was there would be a $59 billion dollar deficit instead of any surplus.
--------------------
This is among the biggest frauds in the history of the United States. Even the Washington Post agreed in an editorial this fall. Any company CEO doing something like this would be buried under the jail.

What would be approximate monthly health insurance premium?

for a healthy couple in mid forties with self employment status in Houston and 3 kids (ages 1, 5,10) I have tried some links on internet. They ask for basic information and a phone number for their agent to call. I wonder if there is any link that provides quotes via email.
--------------------
If I had to pull a number out of the air, I'd say $1200 a month. But that's a WAG (wild *** guess). That's why they need an agent to call you, there are too many other variables.

Is it illegal to fire an employee in order to deny them health insurance?

Specifically, in the states Iowa and Minnesota.
--------------------
Part of the answer depends on whether the employee has a contract. If no contract, then an employee can generally be fired without any cause

Does Australia's national health insurance cover plastic surgery for facial scars resulting from an accident?

Facial scars incurred during a bicycle accident? (Or any type of accident, for that matter.)
--------------------
Medicare doesn't cover surgery for solely cosmetic reasons so you would need to have a referral from a psychiatrist or other medical practitioner to the effect that it was required for some other reason. That wouldn't be hard to do for scars resulting from an accident.

What does it mean when a company will contribute 50% of single health insurance coverage?

What sort of co-pay does that amount to? Does this suck?
--------------------
It usually means they will pay 1/2 the premium for you as a single person. You would have to pick up the other half as well as the premium of additional family members. Usually you would pay this out of payroll deductions. Co-pays and the like are based on the terms of the health plan for which the premiums are being discussed.

What would have to happen for a great health insurance policy in USA to cost like $80 a month for an adult?

no matter what age and only $30 per child? By great coverage I mean like a plan that covers 85% of anything medical that the insured needs up until they spend a max of $1,000 annually at which time it becomes 100%. Such coverage would be an improvement for the great majority of americans. So how can we accomplish something that gives that great coverage and is as cheap in terms of premiums paid by enrollees?
--------------------
What would it take to have the cost that low? The care equivalent to what it was like in the middle ages. Or you have to pay 3 times the amount you pay now in taxes if you want the same quality of care you get now.. Insurance cost so much mostly because the cost of the actual care is very expensive. Get the cost of the care down, the cost of the insurance would follow.
